Hello, I'm interested in bolting up a FS5R30A M/T from a Z31 onto a L28 that will reside in a 240z. They are supposedly rated at +600HP from Z32s. If so, can you point me to some more information on this or elaborate here. Yes, the L28 will never produce that amount of power but I'm looking at options in years to come plus would like to a have a stronger transmission compared to the FS5R90A. Thanks,

This is my first post and I look forward to reading and learning more about the 240z. I currently have a '88 Firebird, '77 and '81 Corvette and am interested in obtaining and modifying a 240z The Nissan model was one of the earliest Non-World Class (NWC) T5s on the market and the bearings, syncro-rings, inserts and other parts are standard items and easily obtainable. Weighing 75 lbs its rated to take 265 ft/lbs, a rating that all T5s held until 1989 when they jumped to 300ft/lbs. The standard Datsun 5-speed is said to be rated to take 200 ft/lbs and weighs about 70lbs. The T5 in the 1982-86 280ZX/300ZX turbos is 100% Borg Warner but with a special tailhousing designed for the Datsun speedometer sleeve/cog as well as a bellhousing to let it bolt onto a L28/Z31. Notable is a smaller 1.3" tailshaft yoke diameter compared to the 1.5" found on the Ford/GM T5s. I know that a FS5R90A : Borg Warner T-5 will work and any short throw shifter made for the 5-speed Mustang will work fine in this transmission but are weak when nearing 300HP. Has anyone installed a FS5R30A M/T from a Z31? They are supposedly rated at +600HP from Z32s. If so, can you point me to some more information on this or elaborate here. Thanks,
